Fantastic pilates studio with amazing, experienced, friendly instructors and small classes.

Louise, Lorraine and the team have created such a special, supportive, welcoming and inclusive environment that I really can't recommend enough. I have a long-term health condition and all of the instructors have really gone out of their way to understand what I need and provide adaptations where needed, but still support and encourage me to progress. The sessions are a lot of fun as well as effective and as well as being stronger and more flexible than I have been in a long time, I'm starting to feel better about myself and make new friends. And my niggling pain in my hip that I'd just been putting up with for 10 years has almost disappeared! Thank you x

Did a taster session with Lorraine yesterday, first time on a reformer! It was brilliant, as I sit for long hours at work I really wanted to improve my strength and flexibility. Lorraine was like a detective finding all my weak spots and I had a great, unique and personalised workout. Felt great afterwards!

I've been attending classes at The Old Dairy for two years now, and it's truly been transformative. When I first started, I was walking with a limp from an old horse riding injury and struggling with mobility. Thanks to Louise's expert guidance and the supportive environment she's created, I've not only regained proper movement but also become much healthier and more active. The studio is welcoming, professional, and calm, highly recommend.

I absolutely whole heartedly recommend Louise and The Old Dairy Pilates studio. If you want 'real' pilates rather than just gym exercises on a reformer machine it's brilliant. Absolutely fantastic focus on the details, technique and the guidance that genuinely makes pilates a super effective rehab and good posture and movement practice. So unlike so many pilates classes that are just selling it without the experience or teaching skill that this studio offers.

So last Friday I had a 1:1 session with Louise at The Old Dairy Reformer Studio. I have been attending Louise's class in Holcot Village Hall for several years now and am completely hooked on the disciplines and benefits of Pilates, the fun it brings plus the new friends I've made. In the last few months a mid back/lower shoulder injury, sustained around 30 years ago had been giving me a lot of unpredictable, periodic and painful trouble which meant I was unable to attend my weekly class. Following physio and acupuncture sessions I am now so much better so, in preparation for returning to my usual class and on the advice of Louise, I had my 1:1 with her. It was just brilliant. My specifically tailored session on the reformer was carefully structured and monitored. At the end of the hour I felt like a new woman with more awareness of my individual body quirks and how to address these more effectively when exercising in class. My body felt lighter, more balanced and in tune. I'm sure I was an inch taller too!! Many thanks Louise for your understanding, professional advice and friendship. I'm truly grateful.

Gorgeous Pilates reformer centre with a welcoming, chilled vibe. If you want to get strong and move with more ease, it's unlike any other form of exercise and the superb instructors guide you through the movements and equipment carefully, coaching you with precision and lots of hands on feedback and friendly encouragement. I left feeling 10cms taller and had a great session! If you're unsure about Reformer pilates, give it a try. You honestly won't regret it.

Glorious. This is any female's paradise equipped with all the most exciting apparatus, plus such a joyous energy. Louise is otherworldly and I can't encourage anybody to visit this studio soon enough!

★★★★★

An amazing studio with such a welcoming environment. All the instructors have brilliant knowledge on the human body and Pilates. I've been coming here for a year now and I'm obsessed! Coming to classes puts me in a great mood, combats stress and helps me move and feel better. I would recommend these classes to any age or gender!

Lorraine, Louise and their team have created such a special place here, they have managed to combine their incredible expertise and knowledge with great humour and a friendly approach, to create a welcoming and supportive community. Small classes allow them to cast their expert eye over every move and they are totally focused on making sure each person is exercising correctly. The equipment is fabulous but it is their guidance that makes all the difference. If you want greater flexibility and strength, and more insight into how to recognise and correct some of the bad habits and imbalance in your body, this is the place for you. As a lifelong exercise-phobic, they have kept me motivated for the last two years, and that's no mean feat.

I went to The Old Dairy due to suffering with lower back pain. I had three 1-2-1 sessions with Lorraine who has x-ray vision and could tell me so much about what was causing my issues. I have now joined group classes which are max 4 people so you get SO much guidance, today I was even taught how to breathe properly whilst exercising. They are so thorough and it's a very personalised session even within a group lesson. I'm already feeling the benefits and have learnt so much about my body. I would highly recommend The Old Dairy reformer pilates.

Excellent classes. Very holistic approach to mobility and strengthening. Small classes so able to really focus in on your individual needs. Nice friendly atmosphere.
